You had hated parties for as long as you could remember. Each one would leave you feeling overwhelmed and sick. However, when your best friend Akira was hosting a party you couldn’t say no.

You tried to enjoy the party, but ended up feeling overwhelmed and scared. You sat in Akira’s room, away from everyone else, hugging your knees as you sat on his bed crying. A pair of headphones slid over your ears, Akira looked down at you with a caring look, and patiently waited for you to speak.
